Getting ready for surgery....have to stop smoking!

 That definitely makes me feel better, knowing the obsessive thoughts about smoking will fade away!  
Tomorrow is my 'official' quit date.  Yesterday I didn't even smoke a whole pack, which is good considering that I usually smoke almost 2 a day!
One thing that helped was that I wrote down the time each time I lit one and put it out, so I could tell how much I was smoking.  That made me more aware of how often I was doing it, so I waited a lot longer.
